What is the obsession with treating ChatGPT like a human? Its not a human its a tool that was created to “reason” about large swaths of data. I don’t understand the backlash people have about some reason needing to be polite to the algorith

Seems like a cool project. Even after 15 plus years of using git I still get tripped up with some of the naming. I didnt check the internals but you mention not being able to rewrite if you push to remote. I think this is sort of a mistake

Process seems like it didn’t really improve in the end. Obviously being arm chair ops right now but using postman for business critical updates of your very important search index seems inherently bad. I understand wanting to run one off co

Not mind-blowing but I use it all the time to loop a task a certain number of times. I always forget the bash command for loops so I just wrote a simple command where I can run `loop 10 ./this-other thing and stuff` to loop ten times.

Not sure why this is on the frontpage. Not only are there a bunch of typos, a bunch of code doesn't actually work the way they said it does. Also gotta love hating on the 10x developer or whatever for saying you are wrong. EVERYTHING H

Mastering emacs is an amazing resource and one I have used countless times over the years. I have used emacs since my time in college (~14 years ago) and I still discover new things about it -- a lot from "mastering emacs". Anyway

I hear this a lot "don't share similar experiences" when reading sort of articles about this. I agree saying "the same thing happened to me so its not really a special experience" with a positive experience then you

I dunno. I have used a lot of IDEs in my day but I always go back to emacs. I know its not for everyone but I can still have a running python, ruby, etc process and send bits of code to the process and interactively iterate on ideas smoothl

Yeah this is definitely a leadership mistake. It's hard to say no to people that are really enthusiast about things like this (which obviously the author is), but its doing such a disservice to the business and their career by letting

So every company ever? I love these comments like hindsight is not 20/20 and it would have been so simple for you to have made all of the right engineering decisions as an armchair CTO. Give me a break. Git repos get out of control, ba

Maybe this is a dumb observation but at this point whats the point of even having a backend or graphql (except for maybe authentication). If you are mapping the graphql to sql why not just send direct sql commands. If you arent adding anyth

Plenty of services could use that. Think of any large scale service that does email notifications.

You can easily use pg_dump to do a "vanilla" backup to s3. Its a managed db service but if you wanted to run your own you can extract your data and move to a new db. The lock is not "complete" you are acting like you can

I think its a cool idea, but unless this is aimed at large tech companies (which maybe it is, I can't tell), I can't see the value here. I know you are from highly sought after school but to be honest the working industry of softw

I have the absolute opposite reaction when filtering resumes. I just want something plainly written on 1 page so I can get a feeling for your career. Why do I care if you can format a document in a pretty way? Has literally nothing to do wi

Thats not a trick, every version of software eventually reaches EOL. Thats why there is semantic versioning, etc. What do you think happens when security vulnerabilities are found in a version of software. Your comment is meaningless.

Why is the “how” cut off at the beginning of the article title. Makes it really confusing without it.

Thanks for the response. Lunatic seems like a really interesting piece of software. Allowing you to run anything that compiles down to wasm seems like an awesome opportunity for a platform to solve some of the headaches of current serverles

Ah that makes a lot of sense! I wasn't connecting the dots with the language interop. That seems very cool. Thanks for the explanation.

I am sure this has been answered before, but a quick google search didn't really clear this up for me but... I don't quite understand the usage of WASM on the server side (not denigrating, just looking for an explanation). If you

This sounds like an interesting setup, but honestly my alarm bells are seriously going off in terms of cognitive load for every developer. I would love to see how much time is spent on ops at this company vs actual dev time. Also once they

echoing a bunch of comments but this seems sort of like a nightmare. its like the classic “dont use comments that are exactly what the code is doing”. basically you are requiring writing this type of boilerplate comments which are completel

Quite a few people are saying it doesn’t work. I have worked on TDD codebases where anytime you changed a function or tried to refactor something trivial it took 3x the amount of time to fix the tests even though the code worked correctly a

Not at all. We have barely scratched the surface of what computers can accomplish and all of that will require programmers. Comment’s mentioning AI obviously haven’t spent much time actually working on AI projects because it is a long time
